How much wisdom
comes out of his mouth!
We fell asleep.

(CONT.) 2 - i laughed after reading it, BUT i would not call it a Senryu from what i've read of senryus! (see above) to MyPoemList nonetheless. bri (:
Sometimes I use less syllables to preserve the minimalism of a haiku or a senryu. I think it's more important than the syllables 's number. Using past tense is a mistake I do but I prefer to call it peronal signature! Thanks!
